I already asked this question, but I didn't explain it too well, so I removed the thread. Now I have made an example in jsfiddle to show my problem:
http://jsfiddle.net/6APjt/
I want a page with a header and below that a canvas. This canvas expands when I click on the zoom button. When this canvas expands there is an overflow that I want to be visible with scrolling. This is because I want the header of the page visible all the time, also when I scroll to the bottom of the canvas.
In the example you see that i have used a div with style overflow set to hidden (to prevent that when you scroll, the whole pages is scrolled). I tried to solve this by adding another div in this div with the property overflow set to scroll. This solves the vertical scroll, but I can't scroll horizontally.
Your problem is in your javascript!
testcanavs.height *= 1.25;
There is a spelling error in there, change it to this and it will work
testcanvas.height *= 1.25;
EDIT: Try setting height, or max-height on your containing div. See this fiddle
Your div will grow since height: auto is the default. Set it manually.

Hello stackoverflow users,
Today I am using the overflow:scroll; property so I can hide all content but allow users to see it with a scroll bar.
See below picture:
You can see that the scroll bars appear even when not needed. Is there a way I can hide the scroll bar until needed, ie when there is actually overflowing content. It is a cosmetic issue for me as the scroll bar at the moment are naturally locked since there is no overflowing content, so why display it (I would prefer it not to be displayed just in case others have different opinions).
Regards
You can use overflow:auto instead of overflow:scroll
With overflow:scroll http://jsfiddle.net/0wekc9p2/1/
with overflow:auto http://jsfiddle.net/0wekc9p2/2/
I would suggest you to set overflow property to auto. or remove the property altogether if it is not inherited.
In your CSS put this code within body tag
body {
overflow:hidden
}
I'm attempting to use webkit's custom scrollbar and I'd really like to prevent it from pushing over the div's next to it. I've tried hacking it by using an image sprite positioned to the right, but it goes under the scrollbar's trackbar. I've also attempted to hide the trackbar, set the opacity, negative margins/padding, and z-index—nothing appears to be working.
The desired effect would be to have the element (grey bar in image below) to continue to the edge of the container and not stop at the scrollbar track.
How can you prevent ::-webkit-scrollbar from pushing over elements?
The same question has been asked, but no proper answer has been found yet (do not flag as a duplicate).
It can be done by overflow: overlay. It is alternative for overflow: auto
I have an overlay that I created with a width of 700px and height of 500px.
The contents of it will be quite long though and so the user will have to be able to scroll up/down within the overlay.
Could I get a suggestion on how to set this up taking into consideration the fact that scroll bars vary in width in each browser?
For example if I add 15px of padding-right to the overlay wrapper, it displays great in Firefox.
The contents will fit perfectly within the div and a horizontal bar will not appear.
However in another browser, the vertical scroll bar may be 20px wide, this would cause the contents to be forced to scroll horizontally, or, if I disable overflow-x, they would be cut off by 5px on the right.
How can I get it so that, no matter the browser, when the vertical scroll bar appears, the width of the overlay wrapper adjusts so that its contents can be displayed perfectly with no horizontal scroll bar?
Overflow property sounds like what you need: overflow:scroll;? But I guess I'm not sure what your concern of the different width of scrollbars is. How is it setup that this is variable?
Or a different look at your problem, put the div with your overlay wrapper inside another div and have the new div have the scroll property, thus making it so the first directly has nothing to do with scroll bars. Ex: [link]
EDIT: Looking at example you provided, do you want something like this? Trick is like I said above putting div around everything, but instead not giving it a width and having it display:inline-block; (display) so it fits the child (but the scroll wheel stays outside of the child).
EDIT 2: Note if you need it to center on screen, you must have another parent div surrounding the inline-block, and have the inline-block text-align:center;. (example)
use max-width and jquery scrollbar plugin jscrollpane.
You can define the scrollbar width and styles for each browser, if the need it.

I would like an element fixed to the top of the viewport, when the user scrolls down the page it remains at the top of the viewport... easy. If the window is narrower then 960px the horizontal scrollbars appear. If the window is scrolled horizontally I would like the content inside this fixed element to scroll with it.
Please check out the demo, the two green boxes should always line up. Make your window narrow and scroll horiz, notice how they no longer line up.
Is this possible without JavaScript? Should work in IE7+ and not totally break in IE6.

I don’t think you can achieve that without JavaScript.
position: fixed means that the element is positioned relative to the viewport. You want that vertically, but you don’t want it horizontally. I don’t think there’s any way to achieve that in CSS.
You can't have position:fixed on an overflow scrolling content. You need to use JavaScript for this. i answered a similar question using jQuery at Fixed header inside scrolling block where a div is fixed even if content is scrolling by overflow.

How do i TOTALLY prevent scrolling on my website even if there is overflow. I just don't want to hide the scrollbars because you usually can just use the mousewheel or page down anyway. I want them to be both hidden and locked.
The problem is that i have this structure(with real css and html of course)
<outerdiv height="100%">
<innerdiv height="100%">
<contentdiv height="ALOT">content</contentdiv>
</innerdiv>
<outerdiv>
I only want innerdiv to scroll its children but sometimes you accidentally focus the outerdiv and when you start scrolling then the innerdiv will scroll out of view (because it's a child of the outerdiv) and you cant view the actual content anymore.
The initial layout will give both outerdiv and innerdiv the height of the browser but when looking at content to scroll the outerdiv seems to look all the way to the children of innerdiv which makes no sense as this already scrolls by itself.
If you use whole screen anyways, then why not just use position:absolute (with top, left, right and left set to 0) and overflow:auto with the innerdiv?
no scrolling:
style="overflow:none;"
automatic scrolling:
style="overflow:auto;"
